Huge book nerd, chemist, data analytics developer. Strong opinions about trees (n.b. best plant), my dog (n.b. best dog), and stories/culture.

‘not deeply rooted in us history’
pseudointellectual horseshit of a justification. brownshirt philosophy is as stupid and shallow as usual
Agreed!
People keep talking about the appeal of the megacommunities on Reddit, and I’m like… were they really that great? There was so much noise to sift through to get to anything real. Having decent discussions or building communities? Maybe if you’re in a small niche subreddit, but otherwise no.
Absolutely. I don’t think it’s really sunk in generally that the Fediverse is intended to operate fundamentally differently from a centralized system. An instance selectively (de)federating is how it’s supposed to work.
If the platform running as intended kills it, then there are big problems. I don’t think it will, but the user culture does have to change and incorporate knowledge of how the system works. We need to not have threads saying the Fediverse, a platform built on decentralization, needs to centralize as much as possible to survive.
There seems to be quite a few folks here that basically want the Lemmyverse to be Reddit with new management
CrossCode is fantastic, right there with you
Oh 100% I love this aesthetic. The newer Deus Ex games come to mind immediately, but yeah. The tablets in Hi-Fi Rush are also kinda cool, if less involved.
just love me some rifling through open desktops though 👍
Star Citizen still has fanboys?
😂
I dunno though, it’s a pretty low bar
Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You’ll get it in the next life, where you don’t make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you’re alive.
Add Jamais Vu and Volumetric Shit Compressor and I think you’ve got my favorites.
Oh Disco Elysium all the way, it’s possibly my favorite game. I have a notebook filled with lines in the game that stuck with me.
I want more of it, but it looks like that lightning won’t strike twice.
fwiw I did play it through twice, and maybe enjoyed it even more the second time - caught more of the little details
Oh! She’s on my to-read list with Babel, I’ll have to check this one out as well.
I just finished up Empire of Gold by S.A. Chakraborty. It’s the last in her Daevabad Trilogy, an immensely entertaining work drawing from legends and myths from the Middle East. It’s filled with political intrigue, memorable characters with well developed internality, and detailed world building.
It’s good stuff! I had a lot of fun reading it, it’s a little different than typical fare with the Middle Eastern background, and Chakraborty has an eye for plotting and characters that kept me going through a lengthy tale. I’m looking forward to reading her collection of short stories in the universe, River of Silver, and the Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi, a novel set a thousand years before this trilogy.

college students are being indoctrinated = we’re trying really hard to indoctrinate everyone, and being even mildly educated is a problem for our dipshit ideology
